Meaning of "Give Her a Pill to Shut Her Up or Make Her a Mute" by Paddock Park

The lyrics of "Give Her a Pill to Shut Her Up or Make Her a Mute" by Paddock Park portray a sense of empowerment and defiance in the face of dishonesty and manipulation. The protagonist seems to have been victimized by someone's lies and deceit, but instead of succumbing to the deception, they have taken matters into their own hands by recording the falsehoods, symbolically drowning the guilty party in their own sea of lies. The repeated refrain "Smile now you bitch" can be interpreted as a mockery towards the deceitful individual, a way of saying that their attempts to deceive have been exposed and they can no longer maintain a facade of innocence. This defiance and willingness to confront falsehoods head-on reflects a desire for justice and truth, even if it means confronting those who have wronged them.
